Abstract
According to self-determination theory, intrinsic values fosterpersonal and societal wellness, while extrinsic values detract from them. This study examinedthe developmental change/stability in intrinsic and extrinsic values from early to mid- and late adolescence and how these valuesrelate to family SES. Three aspects of change/stability were examined: structures, rank-order stability, and mean level.An existing dataset from a multi-wave multi-cohortpanel study was used involving 2,378 (Cohort 1) and 2,351 (Cohort 2) Korean adolescents. Across adolescence, value structure became more differentiated; rank-order stability increased; mean levels of intrinsic values remained stable, if not decreased; family SES was associated with higher levels of extrinsic values. These findings contribute to the cultural diversity of the existing knowledge on personality development.
